Breaking: Denver Drops Malone Ahead of Playoff Push
In a bombshell move, the Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and parted ways with GM Calvin Booth just days before the NBA playoffs. The team confirmed the shake-up Tuesday, saying the decision was made to 'give our group the best chance' at winning another title.
The Decision That Rocked Denver
Malone, who led the Nuggets to their first-ever NBA championship in 2023, was let go amid a four-game losing streak. The team is currently tied with three others in a chaotic Western Conference race. Assistant coach David Adelman will take over for the rest of the season.
Malone’s Legacy and the Road Ahead
During Malone’s nine-year tenure, he turned Nikola Jokić into a three-time MVP and built a contender from scratch. Team owner Josh Kroenke called it 'the most successful decade in Nuggets history' but emphasized the need for 'new energy' as they chase another ring.
Meanwhile, Booth’s roster moves—like Michael Porter Jr.’s $179M extension—have drawn criticism. With playoffs starting soon, all eyes are on Denver: Will this gamble pay off or backfire?
